Just wrapped up 5 enganing days at GrapheneWeek2025 in Vicenza! I had the pleasure of giving an invited talk disseminating our GRAPH-OCD project as a Partnering Project and Associated member at Graphene Flagship. Fereshteh Kazemi -Aghdam, represented our Slovakian partner at the conference. I also talked about our recent article published in Biofabrication. I would …
Publication in Small
We just published an Invited article in in Small (IF = 12.1) https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/smll.202505698 This work comprehensively investigates the structural, surface, and electrochemical properties of MAX phase, MXene, and (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane-functionalized MXene (APTES-MXene) electrodes. The findings in the two-electrode system revealed that the APTES-MXene electrode exhibited a specific capacitance of 207.62 F g−1, an energy density …

I would like to thank Dr. Zeliha Cansu Canbek for presenting our collaborative work on MXene hydrogels at 15th IEEE International Conference on Nanomaterials: Applications and Properties (NAP) in Bratislava.
NanoTR19 in Ankara
We wrapped up an amazingly engaging 3-day event at OTDU. NanoTR19 was full of inspiring talks thanks to the great organizers. I enjoyed meeting Prof. Kourosh Kalantar-Zadeh and seeing Prof. Michael Naguib again and chating about MXene. We celebrated his birthday at the gala dinner. My team presented 2 research studies: ‘3D network architecture of …
New Publication
We just published in Biofabrication, Springer Nature (IF= 8) openaccess The article entitled as ‘3D melt electrowritten MXene-reinforced scaffolds for tissue engineering applications’ shows that APTES-functionalized MXene/PCL scaffold enhanced osteogenic differentiation.
